Typical Original Lanscape Painting

Jasyn initially learnt to tattoo because he always loved tattoos and loved to get them on his body. Clearly he knew that tattooing would be a great secondary source of income as he painted and travelled doing Art Shows.

Usually organizations or corporations will order large numbers of paintings for special events. So bulk orders are often common. Jasyn has to take on any type of work.

Another Side of Artistic Life: Playing and Singing in Bands
Jasyn is also a singer and songwriter, musician and performer. He has played in several bands and love song writer and poet Leonard Cohen, who has a big influence on Jasyn. Jasyn came back to university to expand his knowledge of the world as he knew that it would help with his art and song writing, and motivational speaking. Often he would find himself trying to stick up for people who are less privileged. It would often be hard to find the right works or backup content to support his claims or arguments against ignorant attitudes. Returning to school seemed like the first step to getting control over his emotions when he does public speaking.
